We use a lot of olive oil at my house. And until recently, I used it the old-fashioned way – straight from the bottle. But a reader sent me a link to an olive oil dispenser and I decided to pick one up and try it. It looked interesting but I was sure I would find that I didn’t need it.

I was wrong.

After a month or so of using it, I’m hooked. And so is my husband. Do I have to have it? No. Is it a necessity? No. But I sure do love it. It makes using olive oil so much easier and much less messier. The bottle allows me to drip, drizzle or pour with one motion. I don’t even have to take the lid off to use it.

I picked mine up at Target for $3.99. There are more expensive ones that I may look into later, but for now, this one is awesome.

If you’ve never used one and you use a lot of olive oil, pick one up the next time you’re out and tell me what you think.

Born in Kentucky, I am a wife and mom to 1 son and 2 daughters . I have an ink pen obsession, as well as a love for all things planner. I have been married for 10 years to my high school crush. I am a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

I’ve been using them for about a year! We splurged on some really nice ceramic ones from Target (I think by Giada DeLaurentis) and we LOVE them. We have one for olive oil and one for vegetable oil – I will never go back to the bottles!
